## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Charitable Company and its Subsidiary for the year to 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION**
Reference and administrative information is shown on page 1 of the financial statements and forms part of this report.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and activities for the public benefit**
The objects of the charity are the advancement of religion and education in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish faith for such other purposes as are recognised by English Law as charitable.
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and carry out the objects by grantmaking.
## **Grantmaking policy**
In general, the trustees select the institutions to be supported according to their personal knowledge of work of the institution. Whilst not actively inviting applications, they are always prepared to accept any application which will be carefully considered and help given according to circumstances and funds then available.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Review of activities**
The main income of the charity arises from property investments. The charity’s overall income increased by close to 16%, with a significant increase in management costs. This increase is largely attributed to a higher interest rate environment and to works carried out as the charity continues to improve older properties. The charity’s subsidiary continues to generate income from its property investments. During the year the charity continued its philanthropic activities and continues to support organisations engaging in education, advancement of religion, and the relief of poverty. In light of the significant increase in investment management costs, the trustees deemed it prudent to reduce grantmaking.
## **Investment policy**
Under the memorandum and articles of association the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees consider that investment in property meets their criteria for income and capital growth. The return is considered satisfactory in the current financial climate.
## **Reserves policy**
The trustees do not seek to maintain reserves, other than to ensure that they can continue the activities of the charity. Reserves at the year end stood at £17,148,207 (2023: £18,004,879) represented by net assets.
## **Principal risks and uncertainties**
The principal risks to which the charitable company is exposed are: defaults by tenants, impairment of properties, planning consent for redevelopment being declined, lettings and sales of properties and adverse movements in interest rates.
## **Future plans**
The trustees anticipate that the charity will continue on a similar basis in the foreseeable future, subject to satisfactory income.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Constitution**
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 August 1972.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** _**(continued)**_ **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the board. New trustees are appointed based on personal competence, specialist skills and experience. They are inducted into the working of the charity by the current board and are given, in the view of the board, sufficient training to understand the nature of the charity and its working. They are also encouraged to read the Charity Commission's various publications on trustees.
## **Subsidiary**
The charity has a wholly owned subsidiary, Eaglecroft Limited, a property investment company.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate them.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Itzchok Meyer Cymerman Trust Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, Sugarwhite Meyer Accountants Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by order of the board of Trustees on 29 January 2025 and signed on its behalf by:
Mr L H Bondi - Trustee

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ITZCHOK MEYER CYMERMAN TRUST LIMITED**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Itzchok Meyer Cymerman Trust Limited (the ‘parent charitable company') and its subsidiary (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprises the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 4
## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF ITZCHOK MEYER CYMERMAN TRUST LIMITED**
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Group Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page three, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In performing an audit, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test bases, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than one for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions misrepresentation or override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of charity’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
## **Basis of consolidation**
The group financial statements include the accounts of Itzchok Meyer Cymerman Trust Limited and the accounts of its subsidiary.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective, depending on many factors, including the individual nature of each property, its location and expected future net rental values, market yields and comparable market transactions. Therefore, the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Donations**
Income received by way of donations is accounted for when received.
## **Investment income**
Income from investments included in the year in which it is receivable
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred and includes irrecoverable VAT, which is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Raising funds comprise investment management costs relating to the investment properties.
Support costs are those incurred to assist the work of the charity but are not direct charitable activities.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## **Investment management costs**
Investment management costs include costs relating to the investment properties on an accrual basis.
Page 13
**ITZCHOK MEYER CYMERMAN TRUST LIMITED**
## **NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Investments in subsidiaries**
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.
## **Investment property**
Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. It is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date any changes are transferred to the Statement of Financial Activities. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value.
